Cheryl Stevenson
In July 2005, at the age of 47, I was diagnosed with Early-Onset Alzheimer's Disease
(EOAD), but because of my age, my neurologist wanted me to get a 2nd opinion. I was also told that my pet scan resembled an Alzheimer's patient.
A few months later, I see a 2nd neurologist & my diagnosis was changed to MCI - Mild
Cognitive Impairment. MCI means that I probably don't have dementia, but that my
brain does not function normally for my age. It mostly affects my short term memory
& my comprehension but sometimes it can affect my long term memory.
Cheryl is a writer and contributes poems each month. She is an inspiration.

Randi McNiel is a wife, mother of two grown daughters, grandmother of 6, and a woman
of strong faith and courage. She was raised in a Christian home, the granddaughter of a
Lutheran pastor, and grew up surrounded by music. She has sung in church choirs
since the age of 8 and directed children’s choirs for over 20 years. Most recently she
sang with her 120-voice church choir, which is where she met her second husband, Bob.
But less than 3 years into their marriage Bob showed signs of dementia and was
eventually diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. Randi works during the day at their county
department of education, and cares for her husband at night and on weekends. She
draws on the strength of God to get her through each day.
Randi is a Toastmaster who began writing when preparing speeches. She has written many poems over the years and finds writing fills her need to do something beyond caregiving. She admits that she hasn’t mastered the art of creating images with her words as she’d like, but she’s working on it. Most of all she wants to be known as someone who radiates the love of Christ Jesus in every area of her life.
